The family of slain teen Alicia Martinez cried Wednesday as a Denver jury foreperson announced that the woman who aided in the girl’s dismemberment and lied to police about her 2010 death was guilty of accessory to murder.

Francesca Pagliasotti, 26, could face up to 12 years on the felony charge and also was convicted of misdemeanor counts of abusing a corpse and filing a false police report.

Pagliasotti tried to convince jurors that her boyfriend — Edward Timothy Romero, who is accused of killing Alicia — threatened her life and had physically abused her to the point that she was too afraid to turn him in to police.

After the verdict, Alicia’s mother, Vanessa Martinez, said Pagliasotti ignored the chance to do the right thing. “She was afraid for her life? Don’t you think my daughter was afraid for her life?” Martinez said. “I feel my daughter is getting her justice. She could have saved my daughter from being dismembered like that.”

In an unusual delay, Pagliasotti won’t be sentenced until July 13, nearly a month after Romero’s trial is set to begin. She will remain free on bond until then.

Romero has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and been found competent to stand trial.

PrAna has always had it out for plastics. The yoga brand in 2010 began shipping more of its clothes wrapped in paper and string, rather than the customary plastic sleeves. But when Boulder passed its Universal Zero Waste Ordinance, requiring businesses to recycle and compost, employees of the Pearl Street store saw opportunity to do more.
